Re: [Simh] DEC Net for DOS and the product on an emulated PDP-11 OS

Hello! Okay. That's one for me. And both won and lost. Now about that example of Pathworks-32, where did you find it? Now my steps are to get a proper PDP-11 emulation up and running, and of course installing an OS there, and even picking one... Oh my! More later I think. But okay. - Gregg C

Re: [Simh] DEC Net for DOS and the product on an emulated PDP-11 OS

Hello! What about it? On my system it looks for the tell tales that are found on the currently popular virtualization flags found on both Intel and AMD processors, and crashes when it can't find them. It wants me to find them in the BIOS. I tried to do that eight years ago this weekend, when the

What about VirtualBox? I would love to shadow you in this project, but I don't have access to Beware. Thanks Ray On Nov 7, 2017 10:43 PM, "Gregg Levine" wrote: > Hello! > Probably a VM, but that's as far as I've gotten. It really depends on > how the software reacts to

Re: [Simh] DEC Net for DOS and the product on an emulated PDP-11 OS

Hello! Probably a VM, but that's as far as I've gotten. It really depends on how the software reacts to running inside it. Some of the surviving examples of software we have available just won't run inside VirtualPC for example, but will just barely do so inside VMWare. - Gregg C Levine

Re: [Simh] DEC Net for DOS and the product on an emulated PDP-11 OS

I am very curious about this project. Are you going to be using an actual DOS computer or are you using a VM or emulator? I wonder if it would be possible to run it on FreeDOS? Thanks Ray On Nov 7, 2017 9:57 PM, "Gregg Levine" wrote: > Hello! > Has anyone succeeded in

[Simh] DEC Net for DOS and the product on an emulated PDP-11 OS

Hello! Has anyone succeeded in getting the DECNet for DOS products available from I believe Bitsavers, to communicate with a PDP-11 instance running an appropriate OS with the equally appropriate example of DECNet installed on it? I'm busy spooling up for a big project for the Winter and am
